Resumen del manual
Be careful to keep the walking belt centered. Plug in the power cord, insert the key and run the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened. c 5. An error code (OE1,O OE2,O OE3,O or OE4,O) appears in the SPEED display a. If error code OE1,O OE2,O or OE3O appears in the SPEED display, remove the key, wait for ten seconds, and then reinsert it. If the error code appears again, call our Customer Service Department. Do not operate the treadmill until the problem is corrected. b. Error code OE4O may appear in the SPEED display if the walking belt is moving at a slow speed and there is excessive stress on the motor. If this occurs, remove the key, wait for ten seconds, and then reinsert it. If you weigh over 200 pounds, it may also be helpful to increase the incline of the treadmill. If the error code appears again, call our Customer Service Department. Do not operate the treadmill until the problem is corrected. 6. The walking belt becomes soiled a. Use a color-fast upholstery cleaner to clean the walking belt. Test the cleaner on a small area before cleaning the entire belt. 7. Bubbles form in the walking belt a. Due to variations in humidity and temperature, there is a possibility that bubbles may form in the walking belt. Although the bubbles will disappear with time, you may unplug the power cord, carefully insert a needle into the bubbles, and push the air out of the bubbles. CONDITIONING GUIDELINES WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-existing health problems. The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. For more information about exercise, consult your physician or obtain a reputable book. EXERCISE INTENSITY Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper intensity level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. The chart at the bottom of this page shows recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise. To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age at the top of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers below your age. The three numbers define your Otraining zone.O The lowest two numbers are recommended heart rates for fat burning, and the highest number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise. Fat Burning To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after the first few minutes does your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone. For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed and incline until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone. Aerobic Exercise If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be Oaerobic.O Aerobic exercise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise, adjust the speed and incline until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone. HOW TO MEASURE YOU HEART RATE To measure your heart rate, stop exercising and place two fingers on your wrist as shown. Take a six- second heartbeat count, and multiply the result by ten to find your heart rate. (A six- second count is used because your heart rate drops quickly when you stop exercising.) If your heart rate is too high or too low, adjust the speed or incline of the treadmill accordingly. WORKOUT GUIDELINES Each workout should include three parts: (1) a warm- up, (2) training zone exercise, and (3) a cool-down. Warming Up Begin each workout with five to ten minutes of stretching and light exercise to warm up. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise. Training Zone Exercise After warming up, increase the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is in your training zone for 20 to 30 minutes. Breathe regularly and deeply as you exerciseNnever hold your breath. Cooling Down End each workout with five to ten minutes of stretching to cool down. This will develop muscle flexibility and will help to prevent post-exercise problems. Exercise Frequency To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months, you may complete up to five workouts each week if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your e...
